Voyage Mag, Hot Takes, Real Talk & the Episode That Shall Not Air

Jules and Tessa celebrate their Voyage Magazine feature, spill how Karaoke Wine began (brunch + wine + “we should podcast”), and recap Season 1 chaos: dirty glasses, tequila decisions, and one lost episode too wild to post. They talk real behind-the-scenes podcast life—editing in Descript, tech fails, upgrading lighting/cameras, and dialing in audio with their current setup—while shouting out partners (Briosa/Jeff, Flow Haus Media/Ada, Sandra, Rip Print/Jay, Blissful Energy/Hally). They also joke about trolls as “fans,” tease possible live call-ins, and wrap with rapid-fire faves: wines and karaoke staples
